Here’s what to know before you go:
🗝️ Entry is by reservation only.

Great Champagne isn’t made by chance. Every gram of sugar. Every turn of the bottle. It’s measured. Balanced. Tasted a hundred times.
Come see the Precision behind the bubbles.

Great Champagne needs the right… Passion
A Champagne maker walks a tightrope every day—between nature and nurture, art and science, timing and instinct.
Not just grapes and bubbles, but tools, tradition, and something deeper - Passion!
Every tour we curate is designed to give you that insider access. Not just a tasting, but a story you’ll bring home.
✨ And by the way…
It’s pronounced shom-PAHN-yuh, not sham-pain.
And terroir? That’s tehr-WAHR.
We’ve teamed up with to help you say it all with confidence - because luxury starts with language.

A Moment for Two.
In the heart of Champagne, elopements aren’t rushed.
Walk through ancient cathedrals, toast with vintage Grand Cru champagnes, and enjoy the beauty of the moment over lunch with a view over the vineyards.
Just say I do and we'll do the rest!

Founded in 1843, Joseph Krug had the goal of blending wines of different years to produce a rich and consistent expression of pleasure. The House has a unique and singular approach, which has given it the reputation as the Haute Couture Champagne.
